David Sedaris Live at Carnegie Hall

If you are driving, pull over. If you are at work, close your door, unless you don't mind your colleagues seeing you doubled over, in tears, on your office floor. With this recording, taped before a delirious sold out audience at Carnegie Hall, you are there as David Sedaris performs new stories from his upcoming book. A parrot who mimics an ice maker, lovers quarreling over a rubber hand, and a Santa Claus who moonlights from his job as bishop of Turkey, the cast of characters is like no other.

Dad Is Fat

In Dad is Fat, stand-up comedian Jim Gaffigan, who’s best known for his legendary riffs on Hot Pockets, bacon, manatees, and McDonald's, expresses all the joys and horrors of life with five young children - everything from cousins ("celebrities for little kids") to toddlers’ communication skills ("they always sound like they have traveled by horseback for hours to deliver important news"), to the eating habits of four-year-olds ("there is no difference between a four-year-old eating a taco and throwing a taco on the floor").

Food: A Love Story

Stand-up comedian and author Jim Gaffigan has made his career rhapsodizing over the most treasured dishes of the American diet ("choking on bacon is like getting murdered by your lover") and decrying the worst offenders ("kale is the early morning of foods"). Fans flocked to his New York Times best-selling book Dad Is Fat to hear him riff on fatherhood but now, in his second book, he will give them what they really crave - his thoughts on all things culinary(ish).

Funny Business: The Best of Uproar Comedy, Volume I

Uproar has produced many stand-up comedians' albums, and this is a great sampler of them.

Just a Guy: Notes from a Blue Collar Life

Blue Collar Comedy star Bill Engvall is just a guy. He's been one his whole life. He can't help it; he was born that way. And that makes him an expert on the subject. For the record, here's the official definition of a guy: a person who doesn't think before he speaks. He can't. He's not that deep. Because a guy has only three basic needs: eating, sleeping, and sex. That's it. Just a Guy chronicles a lifetime in pursuit of those needs.

Grin and Beard It: The Winston Brothers, Book 2

The simple truth is, everyone loves plus-sized Sienna. But she has a problem: she can't read maps and her sense of direction is almost as bad as her comedic timing is stellar. Therefore, when Sienna's latest starring role takes her to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, she finds herself continually lost.

"I've experienced a whole lot the last few years and I have a lot to share. So I hope that you'll take a moment to sit back, relax and enjoy the words I've put together for you in this book.

Audible Editor Reviews

A veteran stand-up comedian who has appeared on the Late Show with David Letterman several times, Brian Regan draws laughs from his sharply-etched and quick-witted observations in Live.

With self-deprecation, Regan jokes about mistakenly asking a woman whether she was pregnant and then guessing a stranger’s gender incorrectly. Other everyday subjects for his satiric eye include snow cones, monster truck pulls, and people who talk to whales.

Adopting a cartoonish voices to depict the people he meets, Regan’s comedy comes from the point of view of a person who’s amazed by the outrageousness of the world around him.

Publisher's Summary

American Comedy Award-winner Brian Regan lights up the stage in this live performance. He has been on Letterman five times, the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson, and has had his own comedy special on Showtime called Something's Wrong with the Regan Boy. In his Playboy interview, Dennis Miller named Regan as one of his favorite comedians. As he performs around the country, people are constantly requesting favorite routines. This recording answers that call.

We've seen Brian LIVE. This listen brought back several reminders/memories of Brians goofy, rubber faced stage expressions. Having fun with the simple day to day "nothings" brings a "Seinfield" type characteristic to his act. Great for the entire family... our true measure of a classic comic.

Why isn't he super famous? Simply put, if Brian Regan isn't the funniest man alive then I've not heard his match- and this is but a small sample of what he can do. Network television's loss is the Audible listener's gain.

Holy cow! He is funny. I honestly didn't think it was possible to be clean and non-controversial and still be funny but Brain is the only one that successfully pulls it off. Don't get me wrong, I listen to all comedian's and a little dirty doesn't bother me but I didn't even notice Brain's brand of comedy was clean until someone pointed it out to me, and I've been laughing at his stuff for years. I don't think he even tries to keep it clean and simple it just turns out that way. He is going to be HUGE (I mean even more than he is now) someday mark my words.

I got this tape based on other reviews. At first I didn't think it was laugh-out-loud funny, but it gets better, and its everything others say about it. Regan has funny insights on everyday experiences. After listening to the tape on our long family car trip we found ourselves constantly bringing up "Reganisms" and laughing.

Brian is hilarious! I only wish we could see what he's doing when listening to this as he makes extremely funny gestures and facial expressions during his routines. I saw him live earlier this year and I never stopped laughing! This performance, "Brian Regan Live", is fantastic! If you enjoy this, pick up his DVD "I Walked on the Moon" which has all new, but just as funny, material!

This is one of the funniest routines I've ever heard, and I've listened to it half a dozen times. Every time I listen, I have to run and fetch a box of tissues because I laugh until tears run down my face. Brian Regan proves you don't have to work blue to make an audience scream with laughter. Absolutely hysterical! What a funny, funny man!

My wife and I heard a clip of this on Netscape Radio's comedy central, and laughed straight through. We were excited to get this book from Audible! I just finished listening to it at work and was laughing so hard I almost passed out. Luckily, I was able to pause my MP3 player before I did. If you like to laugh, get this book!

We have listened to this CD some many times we find ourselves repeating the YOU TOO phrase and the baseball humor is gut grabbing funny. Highly recommend this for some great clean humor the whole family can listen too!
